Metabase is the easiest way for people to gain insights from their data—whether it’s a small startup that’s up and running quickly or a large corporation with tens of thousands of users. That’s why people love us

We bring the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the often complicated world of enterprise business intelligence. We offer an opinionated open-source foundation for how companies should measure, analyze, and share their data, and it’s used by tens of thousands of organizations.

We’re a globally remote, async-first company. Our People function mirrors how we operate as a business: lean, practical, and focused on what truly works. We don’t depend on heavy processes or one-size-fits-all programs.

We’re hiring a People Operations Associate to support both People Operations and recruiting. This role is central to how the team runs—keeping hiring on track, maintaining strong systems and data, and ensuring day-to-day execution is thoughtful, consistent, and high quality.

You’ll work across recruiting, operations, and internal initiatives, building a strong understanding of how a global People function operates in practice. You’ll report to the Head of People and collaborate closely with the team on both People Ops and recruiting efforts.

This role gives you a real chance to make an impact through how you work: keeping things moving, maintaining high-quality systems, and following through on the details that make the team effective.

We’re looking for someone who wants to learn by doing—someone proactive, detail-oriented, curious, and willing to take ownership. As you build context, you’ll have room to expand your scope across different areas of People Ops.

**What you’ll do:**
– Support and coordinate interview scheduling with the team, ensuring a smooth, timely, and well-run candidate experience across time zones
– Support recruiting operations by maintaining ATS data, job postings, candidate pipelines, and overall system quality
– Contribute to onboarding and offboarding by helping ensure a smooth, well-organized experience for new hires and departing team members
– Maintain accurate People data and documentation across systems to ensure consistency, organization, and reliability
– Support planning and execution of company offsites and team gatherings
– Conduct research and synthesize information to support People Ops and recruiting
– Identify gaps, follow up on open items, and ensure work is completed without stalling or getting lost
– Provide general support across People Ops, stepping in across projects, processes, and day-to-day operations as needed

**What we’re looking for:**
– Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
– A bias toward action—you don’t wait for instructions when something needs to be done
– The ability to work independently and manage your own priorities
– Clear, concise communication (especially in async settings)
– Curiosity and a desire to learn—wanting to understand how things work and why
– Resourcefulness and the ability to figure things out without constant direction
– Low ego and high ownership—willing to jump in wherever needed and take responsibility for outcomes
– Comfort handling sensitive information with discretion and good judgment

**This role is likely a good fit if you:**
– Take ownership, follow through, and keep things moving without being asked
– Are curious, resourceful, and want to understand how things actually work
– Prefer autonomy and feel comfortable operating with minimal structure

**This role is likely not a fit if you:**
– Need step-by-step direction or frequent check-ins
– Treat recurring tasks as something to simply complete rather than continuously improve
– Are looking for a purely strategic or senior-level position

**How we work:**
We’re a globally distributed, async-first team. This role requires substantial overlap with US working hours.
At Metabase, we value people who get things done, keep their commitments, keep work moving, seek to understand, and are thoughtful (fast). Our People function focuses on supporting the team in ways that reflect how people want to be supported—through good judgment and strong fundamentals, not rigid programs.

We don’t optimize for process alone. We trust people to use good judgment, work with context, and take responsibility for their work—meaning fewer handoffs, less rigid structure, and more ownership, regardless of role or level.

**Why this role matters:**
This role is key to how the People team operates day to day. By keeping work organized, maintaining strong systems, and ensuring consistent execution, you’ll directly influence how effectively we hire, support, and scale our team.

**Why this role is contract-first:**
Technical sourcing is inherently results-driven. Starting as a contract lets both sides assess fit, working style, and impact before considering a longer-term arrangement. Structure and scope will be determined collaboratively.

We’re a global team (with about 50% outside the US), fully distributed from Thailand to California. We work asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, and support one another so we can do our best work. We offer flexibility (set your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that supports growth, learning, and development. We’re relentlessly user-focused and believe in building long-term value—not short-term hacks. We also raised a $30M Series B to take our approach further for years to come.
